"The first edition of the guide included the first written recipes of such cocktails as the Brandy Daisy, Fizz, Flip, Sour and variations of the earliest form of mixed drink, Punch. The 1876 edition included the first written recipe for the Tom Collins, which appeared just after The Tom Collins Hoax of 1874.

However, the British weekly magazine ""Punch"" immediately disparaged Mackenzie's efforts, noting in August 1891 that the title of the song actually was ""Jim Collins"" and that Mackenzie otherwise inaccurately quoted and characterized the song. A drink called a John Collins did exist prior to the Tom Collins hoax of 1874. A recipe for it appears in the ""Steward and Barkeeper's Manual"" of 1869.
